Rafael Toral - Wave Field (2025 Edition) (2025) [Hi-Res]

Originally released in 1995, Wave Field marks a pivotal shift for Rafael Toral, trading ambient restraint for gritty electric guitar textures and minimal rock abstraction. The album’s blend of experimental minimalism, shoegaze, and noise rock evokes a sonic territory where Alvin Lucier, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and Brian Eno intersect.

Issued in the US by Jim O'Rourke’s Dexter’s Cigar, Wave Field is centered on two long-form pieces and a short “radio edit” coda. Metallic and meditative, the album explores guitar as a generator of both chaos and beauty — a forward-looking synthesis that now feels visionary.
